“Great place to ride and relax”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed for a few days over Christmas with our two teenage daughters. We were picked up promptly from Mexico City and driven to the ranch in a comfortable vehicle. When we arrived we were shown around and made to feel at home. Our room was big enough for four of us, clean and homely, complete with a terrace.
Everything about the ranch was great from the welcome, the food, the pool, the company, the horses, the staff. We enjoyed al fresco lunches, huge dinners, especially the Christmas extravaganza, chilling by the pool, as well as of course the riding.
The horses were very well trained, the wranglers really helpful. There was always a choice of pace, and although none of us ride regularly, and our youngest was a little scared we all enjoyed the rides.
No complaints at all ... the girls are already asking to go back next Christmas!

“Great place for Christmas break”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

I loved the accommodation (especially our rooms that opened out on to the courtyard.) Uschi runs the ranch like a boutique hotel where the staff really aim to make each guest welcome. I really enjoyed the pool, the jacuzzi, and the food was so varied. Christmas Day was especially fun with a 10-course evening meal followed by a display of local dancing. Talented dancers with such colourful costumes. Great entertainment.
The riding itself was the best I’ve done. Maybe I was just more relaxed than usual but the horses definitely knew their job. They were obedient and dependable. The ranch have 32 horses and could provide a horse to suit all requests from complete beginners to hardened cowboys and cowgirls. Yee-haw!! The temperature was hot during the day, but not uncomfortably so, and the evenings were cool.
The bonus that made the holiday so much fun was the mix of people I met. Most guests, singles, couples and families, arrived with a sociable attitude and we made friends really quickly. Rides and meal times were fun, with some very silly conversations.”

“Dream Family Vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Superb relaxation, gorgeous views, excellent riding (even for those who have never been on a horse!) The ranch is rustic but luxuriously comfortable, beautifully designed and built. Small, friendly, with highest quality in mind. You can ride all day or snooze by the waterfalls, sit in the hot tub while someone makes you another cold beverage, get a massage after that all-day ride or join the excursion to the pyramids/markets/ruins- always coming home to wonderful meals. There are well-trained horses for every level of rider from the gentle plodder to the dancing trickster and Uschi and Jenny will make suggestions for you each day based on your experience and desires.
We had a family of four with children 10 and 12 and none of us had much riding experience, but now we're hooked and we will be back to Rancho Las Cascadas. There is truly something for everyone and there were plenty of very seasoned riders there who enjoyed themselves as well. The wranglers are kind, watchful and a delight to ride with. Every ride, every day is different in this wide open, big sky country. It is an ideal family or single vacation spot where every wish can be granted. You will be tempted to stay forever if you visit. Caution: this is a real life adventure not a corporate theme park!

Room Tip: Our family of four enjoyed the big L shaped room with one King and two twins.

“amazing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011

I spent 2 days at the ranch and wish I could have stayed longer.
Theaccomodation and facilities were superb, the food (lbreakfast, lunch and dinner) was amazing, freshly cooked very well presented and always delivered with a smile.
I spent two days riding and the experience was second to none.The horses were great, the guides brilliant and the scenery breathtaking.
All the staff at the ranch are extremely friendly and dedicated to excellent customer service.
I will definetely go back next time I visit Mexico and can't recomend it highly enough whether you are looking for riding, relaxation or a nice quiet time by the pool.
many thanks to all the staff
